Infraction Infraction V2 stock top speed

[SrC]

I'm sure others will try this now. Please do. It is easy and reversible. You could even mock up a piece of rigid cardboard to try it for yourself.
The cats out of the bag now. I did this mod a year ago.
Now I expect to see many Youtubers do this. And claim the idea for themselves.
Like with my Mod of the Windshield mod on my V1 Mojave almost 2 years ago. Some laughed at the idea. But is a thing now. Earl Moorehead gave credit to RC Guy Garage , and where did RC Guy Gar. get it from???? Like it was his sole idea. I watched it unfold. Even Earl M. was on the fence till he tried it.
Sure its possible some think alike. But we all mostly follow anothers trend/idea in this hobby.
You heard it here first.
Maybe BQ will be making a CF plug and play version of this, if it becomes a thing.

Also did a mod to the Infr body. which made a huge difference with stability.
Reduced air turbulance behind the Cab..... Making the rear wing work better.
I've seen no one else try this mod.
I did some very crude wind tests, to create this concept. The Infr body has Aero limits in it's stock config.
After all, its just a pickup truck.
My V1 Infr. is good for stable and consistent 97-98 mph pulls now. ( with V1 speed pinion)
All stock 6s V1 electrics. 40mm x20mm Motor fan ( no Heat Sink) and upgrade ESC fan is essential. The only drawback with stock electrics/2050kv motor. The heat it generates.

I have 2mm lexan sheets to make the mod permanent. May even paint it to suit.

I have a stupid rc wing which is lower and smaller than the stock one and it made no difference.

That's very nice! What I meant was what device do you guys use to record your speed? GPS, etc...

Not sure if anyone responded but a lot of people use one of these: https://www.skyrc.com/gsm020

What is your top speed with that 18 t pinion gear ? Because with the stock pinion (15t) is about 62 mph

Mine did 71mph with a 18t. Completely stock and full wing.

And the motor how is taking that hahaha ? You can run for a while without any other problem of overheating?
